Favia Cerro Sur - Napa Valley - Red - 2014 :

 

The Favia Cerro Sur: High-Fashion Elegance from Napa Valley

Crafted by Annie Favia and Andy Erickson, the Favia Cerro Sur is a monumental Napa Red Blend, primarily featuring Cabernet Franc from the unique, high-altitude Coombsville AVA. This wine is lauded by critics for its impeccable purity and brilliant craftsmanship, integrating power, tannin, and acidity into a truly "high-fashion" wine.

If you appreciate the structure of a top-tier Bordeaux Right Bank but desire the intense, pure fruit of California, the Cerro Sur is your ultimate cellar choice. It is built to gain complexity over the next 15-25 years.
